Description

This application is a Divisional of Ser. No. 10/178,134 filed Jun. 24, 2002 now abandoned.

BACKGROUND

The present invention relates to novel thiazines and novel thiazoles, to processes for their preparation, to novel mixtures of thiazines and/or thiazoles with other agents for protecting materials and to the use of novel and known thiazines and novel and known thiazoles as microbicides for protecting industrial materials.

Certain thiazines and thiazoles and processes for their preparation are already known from the literature (cf. R. E. Hackler et al., Synthetic Commun., 1975, 5, 143–146). It is furthermore known that some thiazines can be used as fungicides in agriculture and horticulture (cf. JP-A-2000-119263). U.S. Pat. No. 4,584,305 discloses that some thiazoles have nematicidal action.

However, these known thiazines and thiazoles have not been described as agents for protecting materials.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that the novel and known thiazines and thiazoles of the general formula (I) are particularly suitable for protecting industrial materials against attack by microorganisms.

The salts can be prepared and reacted in situ or employed undiluted. Suitable for use as salts are in particular the alkali and alkaline earth metal salts, preferably the alkali salts and particularly preferably the sodium and potassium salts. The salts are prepared by customary chemical methods.

The starting materials of the general formula (II) to (VII) are commercially available, described in the literature or preparable by simple chemical operations.

The compounds of the general formula (III) and (IV) can, if appropriate, be generated in situ and reacted directly, or they can be employed as pure substance.

Suitable diluents, which are added, if appropriate, are both water and all customary inert organic solvents. These preferably include hydrocarbons, such as toluene, xylene or hexane, chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzene, methylene chloride or chloroform, ketones, such as acetone or butanone, ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, dimethoxyethane or dioxane, nitrites, such as acetonitrile, amides, such as N,N-dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidone, sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfones, such as sulfolane, and also esters, such as ethyl acetate or methyl acetate.

In the preparation processes, the reaction temperatures can be varied within a wide temperature range. In general, the processes are carried out between −30° C. and +150° C., preferably between −10° C. and +110° C.

When carrying out the process according to the invention, in general from 1 to 10 mol, preferably from 1 to 5 mol, of the compounds of the general formula (II) or (V) or (VII) are employed per mole of the starting material of the general formula (II) or (IV) or (VI). Work-up is carried out by customary methods.

Suitable for use as acid binders are both organic and inorganic bases. Suitable inorganic bases are carbonates, hydroxides, phosphates and hydrides of the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and transition metals; preference is given to using the carbonates and hydrides of the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. Particular preference is given to potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate and caesium carbonate, and also to sodium hydride and potassium hydride. Suitable for use as organic bases are primary, secondary and tertiary amines. Preference is given to tertiary amines, such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, DBU, DBN and pyridine or N,N-dimethylaniline.

The diazotizations can be carried out in the presence of an alkali metal nitrite or an alkyl nitrite. Suitable for use as alkali metal nitrite are all customary alkali metal nitrites; preference is given to using sodium nitrite or potassium nitrite. Suitable for use as alkyl nitrite are all customary alkyl nitrites which, preferably, have 1 to 10 carbon atoms, in particular methyl nitrite, ethyl nitrite, n-propyl nitrite, isopropyl nitrite and isoamyl nitrite. Suitable for use as catalyst are copper, copper salts, palladium or palladium salts. Preference is given to copper turnings, copper(I) iodide, palladium(II) acetate or tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0).

The process according to the invention is generally carried out under atmospheric pressure. However, it is also possible to operate at reduced or elevated pressure, namely in the range from 0.1 to 10 bar.

Suitable for use as leaving groups are the esters of sulfonic acids, in particular mesylates, tosylates or triflates.

The novel and known compounds of the formula (I) have potent microbicidal action and can be used for controlling undesirable microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria, in the protection of materials.

In the protection of materials, the substances according to the invention can be used for protecting industrial materials against attack and destruction by undesirable microorganisms.

In the present context, industrial materials are to be understood as meaning non-live materials which have been prepared for use in industry. For example, industrial materials can be glues, sizes, paper and board, textiles, leather, wood, wooden materials, paints and synthetic articles, cooling lubricants and other materials which can be attacked or destroyed by microorganisms. Parts of production plants, for example cooling-water circuits, which may be impaired by the multiplication of microorganisms may also be understood as industrial materials in the context of the present invention. Industrial materials which are preferably to be protected are glues, sizes, paper and boards, leather, wood, plastics, paints, cooling lubricants and heat transfer liquids.

The compounds (I) to be used according to the invention are particularly suitable for protecting wood, plastics, paints and cooling lubricants against attack by microorganisms.

Examples of microorganisms which are capable of bringing about degradation of, or change in, the industrial materials and which may be mentioned are bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae and slime organisms. The active compounds according to the invention preferably act against fungi, in particular moulds, wood-discolouring and wood-destroying fungi (Basidiomycetes) and also against slime organisms and algae.

Microorganisms of the following genera may be mentioned by way of example:

  • Alternaria, such as Alternaria tenuis,
  • Aspergillus, such as Aspergillus niger,
  • Chaetomium, such as Chaetomium globosum,
  • Coniophora, such as Coniophora puetana,
  • Lentinus, such as Lentinus tigrinus,
  • Penicillium, such as Penicillium glaucum,
  • Polyporus, such as Polyporus versicolor,
  • Aureobasidium, such as Aureobasidium pullulans,
  • Sclerophoma, such as Sclerophoma pityophila,
  • Trichoderma, such as Trichoderma viride,
  • Escherichia, such as Escherichia coli,
  • Pseudomonas, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
  • Staphylococcus, such as Staphylococcus aureus.

Depending on their particular physical and/or chemical properties, the active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols and microencapsulations in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seeds, and ULV cool and warm-fogging formulations.

These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents, liquefied gases under pressure, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that is emulsifiers and/or dispersants, and/or foam formers. If the extender used is water, it is also possible to employ, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Suitable liquid solvents are essentially: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide, or else water. Liquefied gaseous extenders or carriers are to be understood as meaning liquids which are gaseous at standard temperature and under atmospheric pressure, for example aerosol propellants such as halogenated hydrocarbons, or else butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Suitable solid carriers are: for example ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals such as highly disperse silica, alumina and silicates. Suitable solid carriers for granules are: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, or else synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks. Suitable emulsifiers and/or foam formers are: for example nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulfonates, alkyl sulfates, arylsulfonates, or else protein hydrolysates. Suitable dispersants are: for example lignin-sulfite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, or else natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Other possible additives are mineral and vegetable oils.

It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

The formulations generally comprise between 0.1 and 95 per cent by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

The active compounds according to the invention, as such or in their formulations, can also be used in a mixture with known fungicides, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides or insecticides, for example to widen the activity spectrum or to prevent the development of resistance. In many cases, synergistic effects are obtained, i.e. the activity of the mixture is greater than the activity of the individual components.

The active compounds can be applied as such, in the form of their formulations or the use forms prepared therefrom, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, wettable powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusts and granules. Application is carried out in a customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, broadcasting, dusting, foaming, spreading-on and the like.

The compositions used for protecting industrial materials generally comprise the active compounds in an amount of from 1 to 95%, preferably from 10 to 75%.

The use concentrations of the active compounds according to the invention depend on the type and the occurrence of the microorganisms to be controlled, and on the composition of the material to be protected. The optimal rate can be determined by test series. In general, the use concentrations are in the range from 0.001 to 5% by weight, preferably from 0.05 to 1.0% by weight, based on the material to be protected.

The invention is further described in the following illustrative examples in which all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.

EXAMPLES Preparation Examples Example 1

3.2 g (0.02 mol) of methyl 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione-4-carboxylate are initially charged in acetonitrile, and 2.27 g (0.022 mol) of triethylamine and subsequently 3.43 g (0.022 mol) of ethyl iodide are added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 days, water is added and the mixture is extracted. The crude product obtained after drying of the organic phase and concentration is chromatographed, giving the thiazole of the general formula (I) where R1=ethyl, R2 =CO2Me and n=1 as a pale yellow oil.

Yield: 2.0 g (49% of theory), nD26=1.5485

Example 2

K2CO3 (2.07 g, 0.015 mol) is initially charged in acetonitrile, and 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione (1.19 g, 0.01 mol) in acetonitrile is added. 2-Chloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethanone (1.43 g, 0.01 mol) is dissolved in acetonitrile and metered in. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 16 h and heated at 40° C. for another 8 h. The solid is filtered off, the reaction mixture is concentrated and the residue is taken up in CH2Cl2 and washed with water. Drying and concentration give the thiazine of the general formula (I) where


R2=H and n=1.

Use Example C

To test dispersion coatings for resistance to mould, the following procedure is adopted:

The paint to be tested is applied to both sides of a suitable base. To obtain results which are close to practice, some of the test specimens are leached out with running water (24 h, 20° C.) before the test for mould resistance; others are treated with a current of warm fresh air (7 days, 40° C.).

The samples prepared in this way are then placed on an agar nutrient medium, and both samples and nutrient medium are contaminated with fungal spores. After 2–3 weeks storage (29±1° C., 80–90% rel. atmospheric humidity), the samples are compared.

The coating is considered to be permanently mould-resistant if the sample remains free from fungus or at most a slightly border infestation can be detected.

For the contamination, fungal spores of the following mould fungi are used, which are known as paint destroyers or are frequently encountered on coatings:

  • Alternaria tenius
  • Aspergillus flavus
  • Aspergillus niger
  • Aspergillus ustus
  • Cindosporum herbarum
  • Paecilomyces variotii
  • Penicillium citrium
  • Aureobasidium pullulans
  • Stachybotrys chartarum

Coatings according to recipe A are mould-resistant (even after leaching out and wind tunnel exposure) if they contain, for example, 1.5% (based on solids) of the compound of Example 25.
